    Oh my god.. This is very bad hospital and overall one of the worst administration . These baba kar Seema and directors are looting poor people of Tarn Taran . I was working there as a Doctor there. But was frustrated of administration. They call meeting every week and make a plan how to snatch money from poor people by admission in IPD. No doctors leaves there for 5-6 month. They have invested so much in every thing without thinking anything. I will not suggest anyone doctor , staff , or patient to go this place. This place is total waste for everything. Politics all around. Lots of court cases are going against them. All directors who have joined here thinks loot d money, doctors and staffs are slaves. They make there own team and fuck out the patient there. Waste waste and waste. One of the director Parduman singh Ghanta was so idiot so idiot that he thinks I am the bond of this hospital , He tells the person to grow beard, moustache, Grow hair all around, Don't cut hair, so much funny. Ohh baba look and get your hospital back in your hands. If your own team is happy like doctor and staff then you can win million hearts of patient. And if there will be politics u will be fucked off..
